Do share interesting and original photos and videos Upload fresh, authentic material rather than product shots or staged, over-produced content that would be more at home in your product catalog or latest advertising campaign.Photos that show off your organization’s culture and personality will help you build loyalty for your brand and tell your story. For example, sharing behind-the-scenes photos of your products being made or of customers engaging with your organization will show what you stand for and more importantly that you’re interesting and human. It’s not rocket science; the more unique, interesting content you share, the more interest you’ll receive in return.Please remember, Flickr is for photosharing—so use your account to share photos, not to sell things.Do create a transparent and authentic identity
